Getting Started Quickly...The Logical Approach
The steps below outline installation and wiring for the base alone. More detail for each is
provided in the following sections.
1. Using this document for orientation, nd the base part number and note any installed
options as well as input voltage requirements.
2. Mount/install the base in the panel (see instructions below for panel mount or ush
mount options).
3. Ensure that incoming power is off and connect to the base power supply connector (see
section "Wiring the F4T Base").
4. Make note of any I/O module slot dependencies installing each one into an appropriate
base slot (see graphic entitled F4T Slot Dependencies under "Flex Module Installation").
5. Connect the wires from each eld device to the associated I/O module connector (see
section "Wiring the Modules").
6. Insert all wired I/O connectors onto the applicable modules and apply power to the
base.
7. Connect the controller to a computer running Composer software using an Ethernet
cable (see section "Connecting the F4T Base to a PC").

Dimensions (cont.)
Installing the F4T
Panel Mounting the Base
1. Make the panel cutout using the mounting template dimensions above and insert the
case assembly into the panel cutout.
2. While pressing the case assembly rmly against the panel, slide the Retention Collar
over the back of the controller until the gasket is compressed.
3. For an IP65 seal, alternately place and push
the blade of a screwdriver against each of the
the four corners of the retention collar assem-
bly. Apply pressure to the face of the control-
ler while pushing with the screwdriver. Don't
be afraid to apply enough pressure to properly
install the controller. The seal system is com-
pressed more by mating the retention collar
tighter to the front panel. If you can move the
case assembly back and forth in the cutout, you
do not have a proper seal. The tabs on each side
of the retention collar have teeth that latch into
the ridges on the sides of the controller. Each
tooth is staggered at a different depth from the
front so that only one of the tabs, on each side,
is locked onto the ridges at a time.
